Minimalist saddle bag, maximum visibility
Some saddle bags want you to notice them – the Micro-Bag Cyber absolutely insists on it. That Cyber Pink isn't trying to blend in with your frame, and frankly, why should it? When you're riding in traffic or locking up outside the pub, a bit of visual punch doesn't hurt. But underneath the day-glo attitude sits typical Ortlieb engineering: waterproof, lightweight, and built to last longer than your current bike.
At half a litre, this is minimalism done properly. Spare tube, tyre levers, multi-tool, maybe some emergency cash – that's your lot, and that's often all you need. The roll closure with elastic bands keeps everything secure whether the bag's stuffed full or nearly empty, and the welded seams mean water stays firmly on the outside. Weighing just 120 grams, it's the sort of thing you forget is there until you need it.
The mounting bracket clips to your saddle rails (not suitable for carbon, mind), and the bag itself snaps in and out with one hand. The same bracket works with Ortlieb's larger Saddle-Bag if you're swapping between short blasts and longer rides, which is rather useful if you've got more than one bike on the go. The reflector helps when daylight's fading, though with that Cyber Pink, you're hardly going unnoticed. It's the bag for riders who reckon that if something's going to live under your saddle permanently, it might as well look decent whilst it's doing it.

Life in the great outdoors is unpredictable, which is why it’s wise to be prepared. Basically, if your adventure goes from dry to downpour, you want your kit to stay safe and protected. Ortlieb’s durable, waterproof bike bags and backpacks are the ideal solution.
The first Ortlieb bag was invented in Germany in 1981, after founder Hartmut Ortlieb got back from a very wet bikepacking adventure in (you guessed it) Southern England. Inspired by tarpaulins he’d seen lashed on the truck beds of lorries, he fashioned a pair of bike panniers from red truck tarp, which he stitched at home on his mother’s sewing machine.
A year later he founded his own company, buoyed by early success and positive feedback from friends. In the following years, young Hartmut came up with a series of innovations that would define the modern drybag, using high frequency welded seams and roll-top closures. He even developed the first self-locking mounting system to attach panniers to bike frames.
Today, Ortlieb remains the first and most trusted choice for adventures and expeditions on land or sea – a brand name synonymous with waterproof protection and super-tough, outdoor-ready gear.
